UNHEARD CRY

THE UNHEARD CRY

A Voice From the Womb, Silenced Before It Spoke, I was there. Not in the future. Not in a dream. Not in theory. I was alive. I felt warmth. I floated in silence. I heard a voice a woman’s voice your voice. You called me "my little one." You rubbed your belly gently, and my tiny soul rejoiced. In that darkness, I felt hope. Though I couldn’t see your face, I knew love was near.

But then... things changed. The voice that once comforted me grew cold. The hands that once cradled me became distant. I no longer felt the beat of excitement in your chest when you spoke. Something had shifted. I wanted to ask, “What’s wrong, Mama?” But I had no words. I wanted to cry, "Please don’t forget me." But no one could hear. I kicked, I twisted I tried to be noticed. But outside, the world was too loud to hear someone like me. I am the unheard cry. They say I was just tissue. Just a mistake. Just an inconvenience. They never saw my fingers twitch. They never saw my heartbeat flutter.

They didn’t know I could feel pain. But I did. And then the moment came. Sharp. Cold. Silent. I didn’t understand what was happening, but my body knew danger. My heart raced. I tried to hide. I tried to run but I had no legs to run far, no place to hide. I screamed. Not with my mouth but with my spirit. I cried not in sound but in pain. “Mama, please...Don’t do this. I want to live. I want to see the sun. I want to feel your hug. I want to make you smile one day.” But my cry was unheard. Not because I was silent, but because no one wanted to listen. They tell stories out there, stories of strength, stories of choice, and stories of freedom. But where is my story? Who will speak for me? Who will tell the world that I mattered too?

I wasn’t a threat. I wasn’t a burden. I was a life, a miracle in the making. And yet, I was treated like a mistake to erase. They don’t talk about me. They won’t show my face, because if they do… they might hear the truth in my silence. They might feel the weight of the choice. They might weep. Some will say, “It was necessary.” Others will say, “She wasn’t ready.” But no one asks, “Was he ready to die?”

I forgive you, Mama. Not because I have to, but because love is still inside me even now. I wish you could have held me. I wish you could have heard my voice say, “Thank you for choosing me.” But now, all that’s left is silence. Silence in the world. Silence in your heart, and the echo of a cry… unheard.

A Call to Conscience

THE UNHEARD CRY is not just a story of pain it is a story of truth. It is a voice for millions of unborn children across the world who never got to see the light of day, children with destinies, with songs, with laughter, with potential. Yet every day, they are erased… not loudly, but quietly. Not with shouts, but in hidden rooms. And the world keeps moving, blind to the silent genocide happening under the veil of rights and choices.

This short film, presented by Sauti Yangu TV, is a heartfelt attempt to give voice to the voiceless. It invites viewers to see beyond the politics, the headlines, and the arguments and to step into the heart of the unborn child.

It does not seek to condemn-but to awaken. It does not aim to judge-but to provoke thought. It does not use anger-but empathy, because deep down, we all know: Life is sacred. Life is fragile. And every life, no matter how small, matters. To the one who’s hurting, Maybe you’re a mother who’s made that decision before. Maybe you carry wounds no one can see. Please know: you are not alone. There is forgiveness. There is healing. There is hope. Your story doesn’t end in shame. But the first step is to listen to the unheard cry and let your heart feel again. Maybe you’re someone facing that decision now, confused, pressured and scared. You’re not alone either, there is support, there are people who care. And above all there is a child inside you who wants nothing more than to live.

He or she may be silent now. But one day, that child could laugh, dream, and change the world. Will you let them? Let the World Hear. We invite you to watch this moving video THE UNHEARD CRY available now on Sauti Yangu TV on YouTube.
